Chapter 492 - Traitor And Despair
492 Traitor And Despair
“It definitely wasn’t easy for Yuchi to refuse them. After all, think about it. If you were Yuchi at that time, and you had just reached the Dao heart realm, and suddenly found a group of friendly Dao heart realm cultivators who wanted to be friends with you…”
“And then invited you to accomplish great things together and work hard for the good of the world, you would definitely be tempted. After all, they had so many things in common, as they were guardians and jinxes too. It would feel perfectly natural to join them.”
“Yet he somehow refused their invitation.”
“Honestly, if you think about it. If one day the Knights of the Round Table really find out that they have made a mistake, and find out that they were being controlled by the traitors from our race and used as a tool…”
“And even deceived to the point of killing their beloved jinxes, don’t you think that it would be a tragic and cruel revelation? I wonder how they will feel.”
Prometheus’ voice was a little heavy.
For the sake of so-called righteousness, they killed the jinxes they trusted the most, and the jinxes who trusted them even more.
Then, they fought for the people of the world, carrying the ideals of the jinxes who believed in them. If all of that was a lie…
This kind of thing could not be summarized in a few words. The grief in this matter was probably enough to drive the Knights of the Round Table crazy.
“No matter what,” Prometheus said seriously, “We still need to find out who the traitor is. The traitor who told the Knights of the Round Table that they could fuse the Dao hearts of their jinxes after killing them to reach the demigod realm.”
“Only by finding this traitor can we ensure the peace of our race in the future. Otherwise, the war will continue for a long time, and we can only watch as the world falls into chaos and destruction.”
“Furthermore, it’s not like we can tell the myriad races about the dangers of the red flame divine spores, as that will only hasten their awakening and strengthening process.”
“At that point, the traitors will probably do something desperate that will be even more difficult to deal with.”
“This is really a situation with internal and external troubles.”
Prometheus had obviously experienced a lot of things, and the things he said were based on the history of the moon god race.
“Forget it, I don’t think we should continue this topic. In any case, the world is governed by the Heavenly Dao, and not our wants and wishes.”
After hearing Prometheus’ words, the vice-general nodded and replied.
“Sometimes, when I look up at the sky, I feel ignorant and useless despite my status. The more I learn about the world, the more I understand how insignificant I am. I feel like I’m a frog in a deep well.”
The Heavenly Dao was like an invisible hand that was manipulating the souls of all living beings.
Perhaps this was why so many people wanted to become true gods and free themselves from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao.
“Who isn’t like this?” Prometheus said in a relaxed manner, “Even the shrine maidens and those old farts from the Elder Council won’t dare to say that they truly understand this world.”
“After all, we are all living under the Heavenly Dao and in the same well. There’s no way that we can catch a glimpse of the truth without becoming true gods.”
When he said this, he suddenly realized something.
Prometheus’ tone instantly turned more casual.
“Anyway, I feel that our ancestor, the Moon Goddess Faros, will definitely protect us secretly, whether it’s from the red flame divine spores or the attack of the Knights of the Round Table. She won’t allow our race to be wiped out.”
The vice-general nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, the Moon Goddess Faros will definitely protect our moon god race!”
Obviously, at this juncture, facing an impasse, spiritual hope was needed.
After all, if things proceeded down this path, the world would be destroyed.
After Prometheus finished, he said one last thing, “Right, didn’t the shrine maidens say that they were going to the Moon Goddess Sea to pay respects to the ancestor? When are they going?”
“Probably within the next two days,” the vice-general replied after some thought.
“Those women… Wait no!”
“The respected Saintess and maidens of the shrine should be heading to the Moon Goddess Sea within the next two days to pay their respects to the Moon Goddess Faros.”
“Alright,” Prometheus replied, “Then we’ll just follow along and protect them.”
“I don’t believe that the Knights of the Round Table would dare to touch the shrine. They don’t have the guts to do that.”
“Right now, they’re just some pitiful little rats hiding here and there. They are probably even the lackeys of our moon god race’s traitors, yet they are completely unaware, the poor things.”
